a new option (-i) to ./gen-patch-info.py allows for generating a global
"index" file with any and all information that the PTS might want from
this system. The format is:
{
"index-version": N
"packages":
{
"<pkg1>":
{
"url": url-for-all-versions
"versions":
{
"<vers1>":
{
<various attributes>
}
}
}
}
}
index-version is a monotonically increasing version number. when the
"schema" changes, this version is incremented. if we care enough, we
can do a major-minor versioning scheme where BC breaks are differentiated
from "new attribute" type changes by incrementing the major or minor
versions, respectively.
